GOMBAK, 16 October 2018: The bowling alley at Wangsa Superbowl, Wangsa Walk was brimming with excitement on Friday (12 October) as IIUM students competed with each other in a friendly game of bowling for the BENL Bowl event.<\/p>\n

Organised by the Secretariat of English Language and Literature (ELITS), the event was the third of its kind since its inception in the second semester of 2016\/2017.<\/p>\n

With over 40 participants joining in the fun, the event aimed to develop self-esteem and self-confidence among students through positive sporting experiences.<\/p>\n

ELITS hoped for the event to be a platform for students to hone their social skills and encourage social interaction among one another.<\/span><\/p>\n

The manager of BENL Bowl, Anis ‘Aqeelah said, “We’re hoping for it to be an annual and trademark event of ELITS.”<\/p>\n

She hopes that next year’s instalment will include more students from all over KIRKHS.<\/p>\n
